1. LOIC LE MEUR 2O3OMY LIFE ON MARCH 26 2030

2. MARCH 26, 2030 I wake up exactly at the ideal time of my REM sleep with my brain reader PAST TECHNOLOGY

3. INSTANT MEDICINE I feel a little weak. All my body data has already been sent to my doctor for analysis with a recommendation for him to prescribe drugs My personalized pills are 3D printed as I wake up

4. MY MEDITATION I meditate and get an immediate analysis of the key ideas in my mind and can save some items as to do items. My statistics are projected on the wall of my bedroom, it shows me I passed 5,000 hours of meditation. In 2045 I will finally reach the 10,000 hours that are supposedly so helpful.

6. BREAKFAST TIME GMOs have become common to reduce human diseases 3D printing enables humans to print any food

7. HYDROFOILING It was a lot of fun riding my hydrofoil yesterday I’m going to print a few new wings to test them later I PRINT WHAT I NEED

8. INSTA3D I’m so impressed how Insta3D, formed in 2012 became a billion dollar company so fast. Printing any object is widely available at Starbucks. There are thousands of startups that create object on demand. MAKILABS was a pioneer in this field.

9. MOST OBJECTS ARE FREE OPEN SOURCED I remember I bought an Encyclopedia when I was a student in the 1990s. Then, knowledge became free. Now most objects can be downloaded and printed nearly for free, personalized to my tastes. Image credit Noah Hornberger’s Taco Vato Thingyverse

10. HOW I RUN I’m going for a run outside. My knees are both artificial so I never have a knee pain ever again, I run at 15 km/h for an hour thanks to my Biomechatronics enhanced legs PAST TECHNOLOGY

11. MY CAR I jump into my self driving car. Remember the Google Self Driving car video? Now it’s everywhere. Self driving cars reduced accidents to all time low VINTAGE SELF DRIVERS We look at people driving their cars as people using old Nokia phones and laugh, unless it’s a cool car.

15. MY VIRTUAL ASSISTANT A.I. GREW grew to become omniscient – based on the data digitilized by humans in the 21st century Artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence anytime soon Progress and research in this field has become a major economical weapon IN THE PAST

21. 100% CONNECTED All objects around me are connected 100% of the time and keep updating themselves

22. WORK FREEDOM Starting with Uber in Lyft, people work whenever they want, wherever they want. The market of microwork exploded, individuals have all become consultants for high value-added missions. Picture credit Her (2013) – All rights reserved

23. AFRICA IS THE FASTEST GROWING CONTINENT Hard working young populations of Africa have taken millions of jobs from the US, Europe and even China  Constant education  Free knowledge  Remote Work  Freelancing  Crowdsourcing  Crowdfunding have enabled African workers to surpass average Western workers Slums have disappeared and poverty barely exists (pic: Sama Group center in Gulu)

24. 3D PRINTED HOME Houses built in hours at very low cost contributed in solving poverty. No more slums.

25. TAKING THE HYPERLOOP TO LA Hyperloop has become the most flexible than flying to LA HYPERLOOP

26. LUNCH TIME 3D printing enabled humans to print any food Animal killing has become illegal in most countries

29. ENERGY All power is renewable, dominated by solar panels and energy storage, which have both become very cheap. Upgraded power grids work a bit like the Internet did back in 2015. Electricity is distributed, shared, and stored like data was then, and it's abundant - even though more electricity was needed to replace fossil fuels. This process has gone a long way to helping solve climate change.

40. MY NIGHTS AND EVENINGS When it gets dark, I enjoy seeing all the glowing plants on the road sides. DNA is software PIONEERS Austen Heinz Cambrian Genomics

41. MAMMOTH IS BACK In 2015 Hwang Woo-Suk got the idea to clone a Mammoth from a 28,000 old DNA from bones

42. MY GRANDSON My son has a new baby from frozen embryos. Freezing eggs and sperm has become standard practice IN THE PAST Facebook And Apple Offer To Pay For Female Employees To Freeze Their Eggs TechCrunch, 10/2014

3. Other Photoshop Sketch Illustrator Asset Creation Tools • 50% of designers use more than one tool, 34% sketch only. ! • 71% of B2B designers using Sketch ! • 72% of designers are designing for both web and mobile, 9% web only

4. Other Keynote Invision Framer Flinto Prototype Creation Tools • 75% of designers use more than one prototyping tool ! • Framer/InVision is most popular combo. ! • No set prototyping tool, lots of designers using Pixate, HTML, Bootstrap, Avacado, etc.

6. Coding Involved in Prototypes • Responses are all over the place. • “Consensus” is very little programming and if so most of it is in the animations and interactions. • A few complex or data intensive apps needed more coding involved.

7. Sharing prototypes • Responses are all over the place. • “Consensus” is in person or over company communication channels (Slack, WebEx). Typical is to share the Invision or Framer link. (Check out wake.io) • Hard part is collecting the feedback and making changes to the initial prototype. Much of that is taken in notes, person, docs, etc. (Check out Red Pen)

8. Biggest frustrations with Prototyping process • Easily communicate prototype (flow + animations) without needing a lot of coding. • Very time consuming. Ex. Framer is great but steep learning curve. • Difficultly of moving from prototype to implementation, having spec for engineers. (Avocode) • Too many disparate tools makes process cumbersome. Asset creation, flow, and animation should be in one tool.
